Joe's true form?
The sum total of idiosyncrasies, strange choices and behaviors on Joe's part throughout the show led Lars to suspect that Joe was potentially an alien in disguise.
History[]
On any other podcast, Lars would likely be the "zany" one, but Joe took the cake on this one during his tenure. To say that he is an eccentric individual would be quite an understatement. The way he acted on-air, and even in real life, could be incredibly bizarre. He has a strange living situation, has an odd fascination with luggage that borders on sexual, has questionable geographical knowledge, enjoys bizarre fashion combinations, and so on.

Over time, his unusual persona ;ed Lars to suspect that Joe is actually an alien presenting himself as a human. This culminated on the Quarantine Special episode, in which Lars compared Joe to the protagonist from Poorly Disguised Angel Comics.
Either to add to the joke or to sloppily assuage suspicion, Joe would frequently, and without any prompting, declare on-air, "I'm not an alien!" Lars has compared this to someone introducing themselves at parties, "Hi, I'm Dave; I'm not gay." This would, of course, lead most people to suspect that Dave is gay.
He would also occasionally "slip up" and refer to humans as earthlings, or make a reference to them in a way that implies he is not included in that category.
On Facebook Messenger, Lars has Joe's nickname set to "Poorly Disguised Alien".
